WARNING
Always turn off the controller before wiring and piping to prevent electri-
cal shocks.
4-1 Cable carrier type
A cable carrier is mounted as a standard between the X and Y axes. When 3rd-
axis are used, a cable carrier is also provided between the Y and Z axes, and when
using 4th-axis, a cable carrier is also provided between the Z and R axes. Lay the
wiring and piping to the tool using these ducts. A 0.3sq 10-core flexible cable is
wired from the X-axis wiring box to the final axis' wiring box, and can be used
freely. The wiring and piping methods for a 2-axis arm type are explained below
as an example.
4-1-1 Example of wiring and piping methods using cable carrier
1) Remove the four M4 small screws and open the X-axis wiring box cover.
2) Rubber grommets are attached to the end face of X-axis wiring box.
Open holes (or notches) in these grommets, and pass the required cables and
air tubes, etc., through.
